One of the most important tools for a self employed or even directly employed sales representative is a decent business card. 

Business cards are not all expensive and definitely are cost effective in promoting your business to other businesses. 

Many online printers can help you to pay less for the business cards by offering them to you for free as an incentive for you to purchase more promotional products from them in the future.

If you don't already carry a personalised business card then this should be the "next most important" task in your diary, simply because it is as important a tool to you as a personal and targeted freephone business phone number.

Imagine yourself as a potential customer, who at the end of the day or week reaches for the various contact details of the salespeople that have visited them that week.

Which companies would you consider calling back first,

• the one who scribbled their number onto a scrap of paper?
• the one who handed them just their normal company business card?
• the one who handed them a personalised business card?
